Oh, yeah, and use BNIB ACL or OEM bearings ALL AROUND. Make sure you remember the color codes from the bearings you removed. If you can't, toss them, and get ACLs. Either one is just as good of quality as the other.

Ls/Vtec

1)Which head studs do i use? the one for the head i have? ARP studs for the head. ARP rod bolts for...the rod bolts.

2)What Ecu? I think either the GSR or Si (P72?) OBD1. DO THE OBD1 SWITCH! It'll be chipped.

3)Which harnass? If you wanna spend bank, get the hasport OBD0-1 harness. If you wanna get a little crafty and save some money get the Boomslang harness. For your motor, I don't recall which harness you're supposed to use.

Ls/vtec list

1)Gsr or B16 head IA or HT. Check with some local shops, too, as they may have it laying around.
2)B18b1 block(have it)
3)B16 pistons IA/HT. Use ONLY OEM honda pistons. Don't try to save money by buying some afternarket ones. You can sometimes find BNIB ones for sale on HT.
4)Eagle ls Rods HT, but a good set of LS rods will hold up just find.
5) Stock ls crank or should i get the eagle one? K.I.S.S. Use the LS one.
6)eagle ls/vtec kit Check HT, but Ebay is more likely.
7)Eagle ls/vtec head gasket Check HT, but Ebay is more likely
8)Type-r oil pump You can use GSR, or ITR. Just has to be VTEC. Get a NEW one. Direct from Honda, or sometimes Napa (look for stamped logos). Check HT, first.
9)Type-r water pump Same answer as above as far as where to get. But you can also use an Si.
10)B16 cable trans.....for now(Gsr later)
11)Type-r valvetrain Save time and money. Do it once, do it right.
12)B16 flywheel lightened by 3lbs to 15lbs(type-r weight) It's easier/better to just buy an aftermarket one that's new or fairly new. Resurface it if it needs it
13) What clutch do you recommend for All moter ls/vtec?
14)Arp head studs You can get these used, and sometimes it's better to. That way, any stretching has already been done. Check HT.
15)Arp rod bolts Same as above. Consider a used set. Check HT.
16)ITR cams/maybe which are good aftermarket 4 all mota
17)harnass? ECU Harness; Boomslang. Motor...I can't recall which you're supposed to use. Check into Hasport.com
18)ecu? Again, check HT, and again, I think it's P72...
19)hytech headers. Check password, as well. Mugen is pretty good. Just don't go egay or DC Sports. Keep in mind the clearance of the front crossmember, under the oil pan, your O2 sensor port location/clearance, and under-car clearance.
Add more to what you think this setup needs... i know it sucks





thanx ben it is p72 for gsr, i hear that type-r and gsr part are pretty much the same?
and almost everything or maybe everything is going to be new!

i a mabout to get my raise from my promoyion so i be make a little more cheese(Qoute from dare) and do this right
